The Connaught Review

This huge favorite of the monied set since its opening in 1917 has many dazzlingly modern compliments to its historic features, including up-to-date rooms done in smooth taupes and creams and, the ultimate sign of devil-may-care swagger, a swanky bar with patinum-plated walls. Chef Hélène Darroze runs the titual, Michelin-starred restaurant; altermatively the afternoon tea (around £35) is a great splurge. Incidentally, as ever with blue bloods, the clue is in the name-this elegant hotel was named in honor of Queen Victoria's son, the Duke of Connaught.
